1. Echocardiographic epicardial fat thickness and immature granulocyte are novel inflammatory predictors of acute ischemic stroke: a prospective study
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is the most common type of stroke. Inflammation is the primary factor in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Use of immature granulocytes (IGs) has been recommended as a new indicator of systemic inflammation. However, data on the association between echocardiographic epicardial fat tissue thickness (EFT) an

2. Importance of epicardial adipose tissue as a predictor of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Epicardial adipose tissue is a special form of visceral fat surrounding the heart. It is associated with cardiac and metabolic diseases. Epicardial adipose tissue is associated with risk factors for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, and diabetes. In this study, we examined t

5. Human Heat stress risk prediction in the Brazilian semiarid Region based on the Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature
Abstract: Objective: the aim of this study is to map thermal stress risks for human health at the São Francisco River Basin (SFRB) in the Semiarid region, for climatic scenarios RCP 4.5 and 8.5. Methods: The heat stress conditions were defined by the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) indicator and by the average number of annual days in which the WBGT value

7. Risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Echocardiographic Parameters
Resumo Fundamento: A apneia obstrutiva do sono (AOS) é um transtorno crônico, progressivo, com alta morbimortalidade e associado às doenças cardiovasculares (DCV), entre elas a insuficiência cardíaca (IC). As alterações fisiopatológicas relacionadas com a AOS podem impactar diretamente a função diastólica do ventrículo esquerdo. Objetivo: Esti

8. Radiofrequency catheter ablation increases mean platelet volume
RESUMO OBJETIVOS A ablação por radiofrequência (ARF) pode aumentar o risco de eventos tromboembólicos. O objetivo foi avaliar o efeito da ARF no volume plaquetário médio (VPM), um indicador de atividade plaquetária. MÉTODO No total de 95 pacientes submetidos à ARF, o VPM foi medido antes e um mês após o procedimento. Oitenta e três pessoas do

9. Predictive value of plasma cytokines for acute kidney injury following lung resection surgery: prospective observational study
Resumo Justificativa e objetivos: Os pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de ressecção pulmonar apresentam risco de desenvolver lesão renal aguda pós-operatória. A determinação dos níveis de citocinas permite detectar uma resposta inflamatória precoce. Investigamos a relação temporal entre o estado inflamatório perioperatório e o desenvolvimento de

10. Increased Left Atrial Volume and Its Relationship to Vitamin D in Primary Care
Abstract Background: The study is based on the fact that left atrial (LA) volume measurement is a marker of the presence of diastolic dysfunction and that Vitamin D deficiency may be associated with ventricular remodeling, worsening of left ventricular (LV) diastolic and systolic function, and activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Objecti
